Overview
Everyday was timetabled from start to finish with insightful and informative talks, group activities, and time at the desk on real client work. Some evenings also had socials or dinner so we could meet and network with the other vacation schemers outside of the working day.
Skills
I developed my networking and presenting skills massively, and expanded my knowledge into M&A
Business Insight
It was great to see the bigger picture and the range of roles available.
Culture
Everybody was bubbly, personable and friendly, and they all spoke very well on the company. I'd describe the atmosphere as high-performing but friendly.
Your Impressions
Very much so.
Yes
Make sure you are up to date with current news in your field of interest, and ensure you revise terminology you might not have learnt at school so that you come across well versed and well-read on the subject.
